The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 921 - 505: Be My Tribute

"So what?" Is there any inevitable connection?

"Therefore, stay here to manage the Immortal Plant Garden. How can you go to your Prefecture to do Tribute?"

"You’re Human, you can leave the Hidden Stream." He saw her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed and immediately changed his tone, "Otherwise, you continue being the Garden Director, and make a trip to the Prefecture two or three times a year, I will ask Father to pay you full salary."

Isn’t this like being a guest lecturer in this world? But how can pies fall from the sky in Heaven? She glanced sideways at this kid: "Strange. We’ve just met once, why do you want me to go to the King Jinghai Mansion?"

"Twice!" Huangfuming immediately puffed up his chest and said, "My father wants to do big things, I need to find many skilled people to help him. I, I see that you seem to be very capable too, so..."

"Oh?" She immediately became interested, "How can you tell I’m very capable?"

"I heard that ordinary demons from Hidden Stream can’t fly around the Bashe Forest like you do, let alone you being Human." He thought for a moment and added, "Also, this afternoon when the Guide spoke of you, his words were few but his expression was very respectful." Being in the Prince’s Mansion for a long time, he could distinguish sincerity from hypocrisy, respect from flattery, particularly clearly.

"You’re quite clever." She flicked his head with her finger, satisfied to hear him yelp in pain before continuing, "Instead of relying on others, why not work hard yourself? Why don’t you cultivate more diligently to support your father in the future?"

"Who said I’m not diligent? I’m only thirteen this year, still young, cultivating should be steady and firm, how can it be achieved in one step?" He immediately retorted, with a solemn face, "Father says, to command the talented of the world like bending the arm, only then can big things be accomplished. Therefore, even when I’m young and weak, I cannot forget to seek talent for him."

Hearing this reasoning, even Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t help but look down at him, only to see the kid’s bright and clear eyes shining—these words were clearly from the heart, sincere and honest. She then laughed: "Your father is truly impressive, saying such things." Is this kid thirteen years old? Why does he look only ten?

Huangfuming said proudly: "Of course, that’s my father!" Seeing she believed him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly asked, "So will you come?"

Ning Xiaoxian had no idea this young lad had many small schemes in his heart, and upon hearing, replied, "I really don’t have time, the Southern Continent is so big, it would take at least half a year for a round trip."

Huangfuming knew she was speaking the truth, couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed, but still pouted and said, "Then when you’re free and passing by, you must come to the Mansion to find me!" Ultimately, he still retained a childlike nature, revealing it in a moment of urgency.

Before she could speak, Changtian, who had been listening silently in the God Demon Prison, said blandly: "Don’t go!" Human children develop quickly, and this kid would grow into a handsome youth in two or three years. Was he now trying to cling to his woman? The Bliss Flower had already entered Huangfuming’s hands, the heavenly opportunity had been given away, if this kid was too clueless, he shouldn’t blame him for being rude!

Embarrassed, this man was even jealous of a little boy. She had to follow his words and say, "I’m afraid I won’t have much chance."

Where did Huangfuming grow up? He had trained to be very shrewd from a young age. He sensed the polite rejection and distant tone in Ning Xiaoxian’s words, immediately felt very angry inside, but didn’t show it on his face, instead, smilingly said, "No problem, come when you’re free." He quickly found a new topic and covered the matter, using the opportunity to take a few more stern glances at her. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Her tame tool speed, although not as quick as Qi Zai, wasn’t slow either. After a while, they returned to that patch of jiazhutao forest.

With Ning Xiaoxian’s eyesight, she immediately spotted the small white figure in the clearing of the woods, couldn’t help but murmur softly, "Your little girlfriend... uh, fiancée, still hasn’t left yet."

Getting a bit closer, Huangfuming indeed saw Jin Manyan standing by a small tree, staring blankly at the ground. He had a good memory and immediately sensed something wrong: how could there be a small tree in the center of the ground upon leaving?

About ten meters above the ground, Ning Xiaoxian retracted her Magic Artifact and carried him gently back to the ground, landing right in front of Jin Manyan.

He had been carried by Ning Xiaoxian all the way, originally not feeling uncomfortable, but now with a third person present, suddenly felt his appearance was quite embarrassing, couldn’t help but shake off her hand and tidied up his clothes.

Jin Manyan was startled, looking up to see the two of them, with joy on her face, rushed over to hold Huangfuming’s arm and said, "Brother Huangfu, I was so scared being here alone!"
